Carl Bernstein: Live White House press briefings are 'propagandist exercises'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein on Sunday argued that cable news networks should stop airing full White House press briefings because they are "propagandist exercises."

Bernstein argued the media should consider editing and fact-checking the press briefings instead of treating them as a publicity opportunity for the White House.

"I also think because of Trump’s lying and his conduct in the presidency, which is so different than anything we’ve ever seen, we need to start thinking of a different way to cover his press conferences and briefings," Bernstein said on CNN's "Reliable Sources."

The legendary Watergate reporter is a political analyst for CNN. He frequently speaks out against the Trump administration, calling out the president's conduct as abnormal.

2. The media is being used

Has been since the beginning of its campaign. They're wising up, but must still change the way they cover it.

3. You, Mr. Bernstein, carry the weight of not only decades, but honor

on the subject of the last lying and cheating crook in the WH. There should definitely be a press revolt...just as revolting as he is. He is Fake, thus news about his lies is Fake News. He just left out a step when he coined the phrase. More of that projection we're hearing so much about.
